A smarter straw

Using a disposable straw doesn’t have to be a guilty pleasure. Straws made with Eastman Aventa™ compostable materials perform as well as traditional plastic straws while eliminating excess waste.

They do that because of their compostable nature. Straws made with Aventa break down in soil and will not remain as microplastics unlike when traditional plastics biodegrade. Items made with Aventa Renew feature another level of sustainability — they’re made from certified recycled content using ISCC mass balance allocation.

Why switch to Aventa?

Aventa products are made from cellulose that comes from responsibly sourced wood pulp. When combined with vinegar, this forms cellulose acetate pellets used to make disposable straws.

These items can be composted instead of sent to landfills, helping to reduce food-related waste. These straws have unwavering performance, working just as well as traditional plastic . Aventa products are durable and look good. They have met U.S. FDA clearance for food contact use, have a premium feel and do not get soggy. They allow manufacturers and users to set a new sustainability standard without sacrificing quality.

Products made with Aventa Renew break down hard-to-dispose-of plastic waste and combine it with wood pulp to create cellulose acetate. Articles made with Aventa Renew are certified home and industrial compostable and are 100% biodegradable. Aventa Renew is the only compostable material that contains both biobased and certified recycled content.

That makes straws made with Aventa an environmentally friendly choice with exceptional performance.
